But next gen did not jump in sales like EA had hoped. Either way around 13% less people bought the game then the year before.
Lets just say that number was 5 million copies sold a year ago: 650K less copies sold * $40 equals around $26 million less in revenue which is nothing to sneeze at, even to EA. If it were to be down another 13% this year, some people may be looking for work.
